HE MET DEATH CALMLY IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT. a ey None of His Family Were With Him During His Last Day on Earth-- His Brother in Boston to Take Remains to Virginia. Boston, Mags., May 21.--Clarence Vv, T. Richewon, the former Baptist cler- gyman, aod the confessed murderer of his sweetheart, Miss Avis Linnell, paid the death penalty in prison here at 12.10 o'clock this morning. Richeson was eager to die, and calmly awaited the hour of midnight when he was led from the death cell to the electric chair, accompanied by his spiritual adviser. The strapping of the con- demned man in the chair was quickly done, and while the Lord's prayer was being recited, the volts of death were turned ou, and Richeson was dead in a8 second. Those who witnessed Richeson's last hours say he went to his death sin- cerely repentant, and - hopeful of the merey of God. 'the body was claimed, this merning, by the deceased's brother, and will be delivered as soon as the necessary le- gal examinations are completed, for burial at Amherst Court House, Vir gin, the birthplace of Richeson. It will be accompanied by his brother, Rev. Herbert 8. Johnson and William A. Morse, counsel. Faithful to his promise, Richeson, in his general bearing and in his con- versation with his two spiritual ad- visers who never left him alone for a moment. during these last few days, bore up well through his last day on earth, Hé even was cheerful as he sang some favorite hymns with Chap lain Stebbins until a' late hour. Then hs: would read from the Psalms. No relative of the former minister was present to console with him in his last hours, or pay him a farewell visit. His aged father in Virginia was too feeble to stand the journey and i the strain: sister in New York state did not wish to have her last thought of her brother associated with a death cell. His brother, Doug- las Richeson, of Chicago, although in the city, declared that he would not to the prison, but would remain until after the execution to see to the disposal of the remains. Violet Fdmands, lady to whom Richeson expected to be married after he had killed Avis Lin- nol, has been given nearly all the con- demned -mijpister's personal property in a "will" made by him on the eve of his execution. Curiously, the same document names asthe regipient of some keepsake the mother oF the girl Richeson poisoned in order that he might be free to mar- ry Miss Edmands. : The "will occupied much of Riche son's time in the last hours of his life. While it is pot drawn as a legal document, it is intended to have that offect. Its real nature is that of a set of instructions to his attorney as to what will be done with his property after his death. The current was turned on at 12.02. Richeson was pronounced dead at 12.17. Richeson ate heartily yesterday. In the eve he sang hymns, one of them being "Sometime We'll Understand." Turning to the Rev. Dr. John- son the prisoner said: "Doctor, I am sure you will not forget to send my farewell mes- sage to my father in Virginia. Tell him 1 died deeply repentant and with full faith that I shall face my maker in all penitence." The solemn hour of midnight found Richeson praying. after which he recited the twenty-third psalm.

G.T.R. and C.N.R. Steamers--Canada Will Likely Enter a Protest, Washington, May 21.--Canadian railroads which own, operate or in any way exercise control 'over steam ships, will be dealt a severe blow if the Adamson Panama canal hill, to be passed by the house this week, is not amended before it becomes a law. In the opinion of republican and democratic members of the house in- terstate and foreign commerce com- mittee, who drafted the measure, and of members of the interstate com- merce commission, who favor it, no Canadian steamship operated by a railroad is permitted by the terms of the Adamson bill to use any water- way of the United States, including the great lakes and Panama canal. The Canadian trans-continental rail- roads affected are the Canadian Paci- fie, the Canadian Northern and the Grand Trunk. They all operate steam- ships on the great lakes and on the sea. Canada May Protest, Ottawa, May 21.--It is possible that the Dominion government may protest against the Adamson bill now before which prevents the opera- tion of ships belonging to Canadian rallways in American waters. The at. tention of the government was direct- ed to the bill, and will doubtless be considered. Americans have free use of" Cana- dian waterways. Most of the Cana- dian railways have steamship lines, and the railways themselves will doubtless protest. Ti the bill is made to apply to the Panama canal there will certainly be a vigorous protest, as it has been understood all along that Canadian ves would, under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, be entitled to the use of the canal.

The miners, under the agreement, are given an increase in wages and other concessions. The mining of anthracite coal, which was suspended during the last seven weeks pending the settlement of the differences between the operators and underground workers will be resumed Wednesday. -- ee A BOGEY, SAYS ADAMSON. Canadian Owned Ships 'win Not be Intefered With Washington, D.C., ME) 21.--Judge Adamson, author of the Adamson Panama canal bill, and chairman of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce, asserted most em- phatically last night that the Adam- son bill will not prevent any Cana- dian steamship owned by a Uanadian railroad from using the Panama ca- nal, "This is a bogey that somebody has raised," said Jud ¢ Adamson, "and the claim is ridiculous. The Adamson bill applies, so far as this section is concerned, only to the coastwise com- merce of the United States, and to railroads which are common carriers under the interstate commerce act." As a matter of fact the bill appears to be another attempt to allow Unit- ed States ships to use the canal with- out paying tolls. SUPERINTENDENT QUITS.
